O.D.D Gran Piano is made up of 3 Kontakt NKI Instrument files. We compiled and edited the whole thing as a set of 3 soulful and colorful instruments. We chose microphones which do not represent common choices for recording "perfect pianos", but mics we found were complementing the sound we had in our minds and hearts. We chose one of the best studios in Italy, Art&Music Studios. We chose and carefully placed no less than 29 microphones around the piano in order to achieve many different sound signatures. We deliberately chose to sample the piano with full detail (11 dynamic levels) but stop before the "ff" dynamic, to have a piano with a warm and intimate sound. So, among other ventures we are developing, we decided to do an odd, peculiar piano. As any accomplished piano player knows, though, such a piano might only exist for a single player, not for the world-wide community of piano players. What we find sometimes, in sampled pianos, is a lack of personality as to try to fulfil the dream of the perfect piano. Already having four pianos in our product line, two of which are very sought-after top-notch models, made the choice for a new piano difficult at first, but very rewarding in the end in our humble opinion.
